Work is a _.
Correct answer: B. Scalar quantity
- A. Vector quantity
- B. Scalar quantity
- C. Sometime scalar some time vector
- D. None of these
Explanation
Work is given as; W = F × d Work is the product of Force, and displacement, both of which are vectors. The product of two vectors is a scalar quantity.

About Work
Work is done when a force produces displacement, with its value determined by the component of force along the displacement. The topic covers positive, negative and zero work, work by variable forces from force-displacement graphs, and the connection between net work and change in kinetic energy.
